Yarra Valley Grammar is an independent, coeducational, K-12 school founded in 1966. The School has a broad curriculum with a particular emphasis on academic excellence and a vibrant performing arts and sporting culture. The School is a member of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria and the Principal is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools. The Junior, Middle and Senior Schools are all located on one expansive 29 hectare campus in Ringwood in the heart of Melbourne's East. The School is committed to educating young men and women to be productive contributors to the broader community. It is for this reason that a great deal of emphasis is placed upon the broader goals of education including leadership, teamwork and community outreach. All students participate in some way in the co-curricular life of the School and are involved in our community links program which seeks to teach the importance of community service. As an Anglican School, Yarra Valley Grammar's values are informed by Gospel teachings which welcome people from all faith traditions. The academic program is supported by state of the art facilities including the 900 seat George Wood Performing Arts Centre which is home for the many musical and dramatic productions performed by students of all ages. The campus itself has extensive playing fields which allow students considerable space for recreation. The greatest strength of the School is its people with a dedicated staff, supportive parents and students who readily accept the many opportunities they are given. This is a powerful combination which creates a vibrant school experience.
